Tasting 100 years of Château Talbot wines—Pretty much the best vintage out of the difficult decade of the 1970s, besides 1970 itself. An extremely mild start to the year – to the point that some leaves appeared in mid February – then turned cold again through to May, meaning relatively late flowering in mid-June under sunny conditions. An August heatwave got everyone excited, until one month’s-worth of rain fell from 12-17 September and diluted the grapes. The weather held out for harvest, and alcohols were relatively high for the time at around 13%. The colour here is ruby red, as the wines in the lineup are getting younger. Tobacco notes abound, with very soft raspberry purée. (JA)
